Check out what some of the leading local & national food critics say about the Mombo experience.
 Every year, Taste of the Seacoast conducts their Best of Taste survey, in 2011 Mombo won #1 Best New Restaurant. We also placed in the top for other categories like: #2 Special Occasion, #3 Romantic, #4 Fine Dining, #4 Best Chef - Jeremy Bradbury and #4 Best Restaurant. We're very proud of everyone at Mombo for making the first year so great. And thanks goes to all of our fans!  2011 Hot Ten New Hampshire Restaurants Gayot writes "Luxurious and indulgent dining in a historic port city spot."  Billy Costa of NECN's TV Diner was one of the first to visit us after we opened in July 2010 and raved "... I not only found a new place but I think it could be my favorite new restaurant on the planet ..." Watch the clip on Destination: Mombo.  Our local food critic and writer for The Portsmouth Herald, Rachel Forrest gave us four stars and stated "If you're going to open a fine dining restaurant nowadays, I think this is the way to do it — with a menu that offers dishes that combine elements from far away with those close to home in way that's not too "out there," but still intriguing and in portions that satisfy. Add varied places for diners to sit — outside, at the bar or the kitchen, upstairs and removed or even in an enclosed and covered back patio and include an overall elegance. Mombo lets us dine like grown ups." |
In October 2011, TV Diner awarded Mombo the coveted Platinum Plate. "Mombo defines classy contemporary eating in an early American setting with an ambiance that makes eating out a culinary interlude. Done with a diligence, the stunning cuisine meets metropolitan big city standards bringing food to the table with hospitable and impeccable service. It's bound to captivate any diner. It earns the Platinum Plate." Watch the video on Review: Mombo.  NH Magazine featured Mombo's charcuterie plate on the cover of the November 2010 issue where Mombo leads the pack as they introduce the Hot New Restaurants of 2010. Susan Laughlin writes "Located in the former Dunaway Restaurant on the grounds of Strawbery Banke, the owner of Mombo, Dede Cadieux, has a lot to prove in this historic spot. And the start is good."  Rosemary Minati, of Global Foodie, writes "Mombo isn’t just a culinary experience. No, this new eatery serves enticing visual fare too. My husband and I fell in love with this restaurant the moment we walked through the door. Located in a charming old building, it has high-beamed ceilings, cozy seating areas, and a friendly crew, giving it a warm and inviting feel."  In Taste of the Seacoast's Restaurant of the Month feature, Taryn Plum and Lisë Stern write "Every dish is beautifully presented, in a way that both pleases the eye and makes you want to dig in." |
